Incorrect, the bottoms are exactly the same. They come from different molds because of the cut down deck but the bottom is the same. I know this because I had my Top Gun and My Gladiator parked in my hanger side by side for almost a year and did the measurements. Same, the tape doesnt lie.........

Sounds good, thanks for the input. I'm gonna post another question on the General... would you go for the 36 Gladiator or a 35-38 Fountian Poker Run? I'm partial to the Cig. myself. Any input?

Dhlaw,
That may have been correct on an earlier Gladiator,which was supposed to be a cutdown Topgun,but my 04 Gladiator sits on a boatlift next to a 04 Topgun,and they measure differently.(I believe your Gladiator was the first one built?)....Also,Neill will tell you that the bottoms are different...Myco trailers will tell you there is a difference.The placement of the steps are different.
